FE 50mm F1.8 (SEL50F18F)

Small, light, bright: a great normal prime

A large-aperture 50 mm prime lens is a must-have for serious full-frame camera users, and this is an excellent, affordable choice. The optical design is state-of-the-art for high image quality, and the large F1.8 maximum aperture can produce gorgeous background bokeh. On APS-C format E-mount bodies it provides equally high quality with an equivalent focal length of about 75 mm.

FE 50 mm F1.8 compatibility

Lifelike detail, texture and gradation

An updated double-gauss optical configuration with an aspherical element minimizes spherical aberration and coma for high image quality right out to the image periphery.

Dreamy large-aperture prime lens bokeh

A large F1.8 maximum aperture and 7-blade circular aperture work together to create beautiful background bokeh that can make subjects stand out in deep, dimensional images.

Shoot at night or in dimly lit interiors

An F1.8 maximum aperture makes it easier to shoot clear night or indoor shots. Combined with in-body image stabilization you can even shoot handheld without boosting ISO.
